obyno82: Oga fear God when you want to lie how on earth did NPC have more seats than NCNC? Try and have sense naaaa in your quest to spread propaganda you suspended your brain in the air. How can voting be within alliance. In a parliamentary system? Haba bros try and do better naaaaa. The coalition was after the election NCNC had popular vote but didn't have more sears. NPC had more seats but didn't have popular votes. So it was the coalition of the party that can guarantee control and have a prime minister and a ceremonial president. Once again you can do better than this hollow propaganda game. It doesn't show that you are sensible at all.
Calm down read and understand before typing your reply. Did I ever said NPC had more seats in the parliament than NCNC?. Ogbeni go and do your research, okay?. Bye.
Creamypie: one thing about APC supporters be say Una lack ability to think independently. Am a southerner, a deltan, and never supported Biafra, or simply put, never supported south being lumped with east/Biafra/obi
What's my business with this write up?, You should be lumped together with the Equitorial Guenea for all I care. I won't reply you again, dey your dey jor.
obyno82: You just showed how fantastically daft you are. In Azikiwe's case the British wanted an alliance with the NPC in the north and any party in the South. While Awo and Zil were discussing alliance in Asaba the same AG sent Akintola to get an alliance with Sardauna,when Sardauna informed Zik, Zik felt betrayed and chose to enter an alliance with NPC. The Sam British government in their diplomatic cables stated that they would prefer an NPC/NCNC coalition. On the issue of Alex Ekwueme there was PDP primaries and every region voted so it was never his fault or a case of rigging. Try and be smart when you want to argue so that you don't show foolishness. This is an issue ij another country, but in your stupidity you want to spin it on a tribal lens, bit let me remind you, if Tinubu makes that error an attacks Niger, he should know the northern aristocracy will never forgive him and will silent ensure that his regime becomes more isolated than ever.
Your opinion of me doesn't count. In an alliance where NCNC had more seat than the NPC, how did Zik became a ceremonial President instead of a prime minister?. For your information, the voting was within the alliance, the other parties where not involved. What this implies, is that you guys got no game, some people within zik's camp are even a sell out.
Austin4lif: For the first time in nairaland, I have seen who really understand the situation in Niger. The Hausas in Nigeria are also in support of the coup because their tribesmen are the plotters. Majority of the Hausas in Nigeria are from Niger republic
Thank you God bless you. The born to rule mentality, that we battled to dislodge here in Nigeria, through rotational presidency, is what some animals are endorsing and celebrating in Niger republic. Given a chance, these evil folks will do such against others. Thank God Nigerians didn't fall for their lies.
obyno82: And Nigeria will never progress we will continue moving in circles until fairness is addressed.
People have right of choice, they will decide who leads them. The curses wey una laid on una self since 2015, is still working wonders in SE. Your curses will continue to backfire on you, know this, know peace.
Biodun556: The election was rigged during general election, when the two leading candidates could not secure 50% there was rerun. Are you telling me the election was rigged again,? Bassoum won the rerun for the second time. mind you, Bassoum was a first timer, he defeated the incumbent twice in an election. The military junters that overthrow him were appointees of the immediate past government who spent two term of 10 years in office and was going for third term.
Seriously?. I support military intervention with my full chest. Smoke those bastards out, period. People's right of choice is sacrosanct.
It is Adaobi the boy-girl that would have been regarded?
What pains me is that democracy has been thwarted in Niger, but what gladden me is that shameless losers like you have shown you do not care about democracy anywhere but only wanted power.
Throwback: What has the electoral loss of an Igbo politician in Nigeria, got to do with the illegitimate usurpation of power in the democratic country of Niger?
How is Tinubu the President of Nigeria a criminal? Was he convicted by any court in Nigeria or abroad?
The voters have a right to their democratic choice whether in Nigeria or Niger. And there are democratic and constitutional means to remove such leaders.
They don't believe people have the right of choice, they believe in the use of force. Unfortunately for them, they can only bark but they can't bite.
Creamypie: Rigging of election is a coup too. Any gofament that enters existence by virtue of rigging through electoral umpire is not democracy, but civilian dictatorship and certainly not a government and should be removed
You guys got no game, no strategy whatsoever, you know why?, you guys are like a forex trader without a winning strategy, who placed a trade hoping the trade will go in his favour. The mumu trader will lose again and again. How did Azikiwe became a ceremonial president, was he rigged out too?. How did Alex Ekwueme lost out of the PDP presidential primary in 1999, was he rigged out too?. How did Igbos lost out of the PDP presidential primary in the 2023 election, was it rigging too?. Okay why did your candidate Peter Obi fled PDP, even before the primary?. You guys needs the rest of Nigeria to become president, unfortunately you guys have never seen other Nigerians as anything other than your subjects, who must dance to your tunes. People will always say no to being stepped on, your candidate knows he lost that election, the court will soon announce the judgement. Your eye go clear.
Throwback: Impose the sanctions fully and Niger will be crippled.
The illegitimate military dictatorship in Niger must be brought to its knees.
The President from the minority Arab tribe must be allowed to finish his 1st term and then "sacked" from office by denial of a 2nd term in a democratic election.
That is the constitution of Niger Republic.
Nigeria must stand its ground that no illegitimate or military rule will be further entertained in any West African state.
The majority Hausa that are rejoicing and their cousins in Nigeria who are also supporting, would not have done so if it was a minority Arab military leader that toppled the democratic regime of any of the past Hausa Presidents of Niger.
For the 1st time, the minority Niger Arab who are better known for street begging with their children in Nigerian cities, have managed to build a political coalition that allowed them get to national power, then suddenly the Hausa/Fulani/Djerma gang up to quickly push them out of power with the illegitimate military coup that we all know would later handover power back to a civilian government that is certainly going to be Hausa.
Is it that they cannot stomach being out of power for just 5yrs that a presidential term allows?
Or the Niger people only started suffering now that an Arab is in power for barely 2yrs, but did not suffer for the previous 20yrs of Hausa and Fulani rule?
If this is the situation, I support the imposition of strong economic sanctions, on Niger.
Jbleenk: Wast of time and resources. Person wey government of General Abach, General Babangida, President Obasanjo no fit curtail when he wasn’t even in power, when he was an ordinary citizen nai some ediots think they can win at a time he has become the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Jokers and time wasters.
Don't mind them. Awon small shata handle, Boya kan tan candle.
lexy2014: he doesnt need to be taught any lessons. he made a ridicule of himself by accepting the nomination. by so doing, he has lowered himself below the people he called names. that is lesson enough for him which he will have to live with
Calitoscassius: So now he has being appointed, it is either he has become one of the morrons or he has changed his mind just because he has being appointed. You see? The masses are the problem, does he now thinks that senators are not morrons anymore?
Smartguyboy: Apologizing for saying the truth. We are done People can no longer stand for what is right again.
He's a slowpoke too. Those who don't stand for something will stand for anything. All he needed to do is reject the offer, he ate his vomit, I see him being worthless than the people he called slowpoke.
Abufo: You under estimate the wickedness and sophistry your tribe is capable of! There is a reason why Tinubu stole the election! it is called presidential veto power! What the yoruba/fulani conspiracy has inflicted on the ndigbo is unbelievable!
Una see pain?, una never see pain. Bible said there is no peace for the wicked, Your people don't believed in " live and let's live ", what exactly are the sins of Balewa. Ahmadu Bello, Akintola and Festus Okoti Eboh?, for which they had to die?. Were they in anyway destroying or destabilizing your homelands?, they were all in their regions minding their business, Balewa the prime minister, what was his offence?. The regions were doing fine weren't dey?, you folks had no joy, anyone or group of people doing better than igbos, must be stopped, isn't it?. After Tinubus 8 years, power will return to the North and then to South South again , and North, then SW again. Shebi una no believe in " live and let others too live ", last last una go collect una five state and live in peace inside Biafra, within Nigeria.
The Igbos had the chance to go in 1967 but wanted the South South to go with them because of the oil even though the Igbos and the South South are not one. And for their own self fish reasons stopped the South South from leaving to stand on their own even before Ojuku declared the republic of biafra in may 1967.
History lesson:
The South South: "before Ojuku declared the republic of biafra in may 1967 Isaac Adaka Boro an Ijaw man had declared the Niger delta republic in february 1966. Boro had formed the niger delta volunteer force an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow ethnic group declared the niger delta republic on february 23 1966 and fought nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but they were eventually defeated and then jailed by the Ironsi federal military government [and Ojuku eastern governor] for treason"
But it was Gowon from Kanke Local Government Area in Plateau State that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army.
Biafrans want the whole of Southern Nigeria. Imagine those who resisted the inclusion of secession clause in the constitution, are now the ones trying to annex their neighbors homelands.
Justiceleague1: JOHNBULL,they did so in the 1960s and your forefathers took war to them.. endeavour to always read
Seriously? what were Biafran soldiers doing at Ore?, abi Ore is part of Biafra?. You guy are expansionists, Ojukwu only needs to remove the Niger bridge and detached the East from the rest of Nigeria.
timiade446: Sending them out despite how hard the economy is 🥴
Most of them in their entire life hasn’t earned what a senator has earned in 2 months
Really?, they need rest make dem go home. Na dem be the bucket shop wey dey loot this country aside politicians. If no be say dem fit ban me here, I for say e no go ever better for any of dem again in life.
Rolings: Na them go suffer am Niger is heavily reliant on Nigeria for even basic Panadol... It's other Saviour is France. Now that they have cut ties with both....ma them go suffer am
That Niger is hell on earth, even their herds can't get common grass to eat. I was once into herds business, the rams and goat from the Northern Nigeria are well fed than the Malnourished ones from Niger. A terribly hungry country making noise, Tinubu should just make sure that our borders up north are closed. I personally don't support military intervention either. military governments were chased out by the people all over Africa, these current Nigerien loonies will not be an exception. When the citizens are tired, they will do the needful. Those who celebrates coup in Niger should not escape into Nigeria for survival. They should stay in their country to enjoy the benefits of what they celebrated, or probably look elsewhere.
Me I support the protest, make dem just leave our electricity alone. Imagine 70% of their electricity is from Nigeria, while Nigerians pay heavy electricity bills.
Obi no go ever be president for this life or the next one
If una like make una no move on.
Obi himself know say him no fit become president. Him job na to help Tinubu win by reducing Atiku's votes.
Make una continue de mumu una selves
FOOLS
Most of these folks have no conscience, the game they played with the June 12 election, that led to the annulment of the election, the Daniel Kanu's YEAA, set up to keep Abacha in power and other political shenanigans by these people, was actually a shock to me. I was like how can people be so selfish? But when I later read about what their fore fathers have actually been neck deep into, even before independence, and after independence and how they eventually got served, I gave up. This is a terrible history, and they are never for once remorseful, they will rather boldly deny what is obvious. Imagine how they tried to deny Tinubu's achievement in Lagos. When I joined nairaland in 2009, the first thing I noticed is the constant attack on Tinubu and Fashola, things that are visible to the blind, they will come to this place and call it a lie. Later they went into calling Tinubu and Fashola all manner of despicable names. I later realize that their hate is born out of jealousy, " more like you can't leave us behind, if we ain't moving forward you guys won't as well ". This is a terrible mind set, Yorubas Need's to be very careful with this kinds of people.
Peppysco: Exactly what I said before, you throw the first punch only to cry when same is done back to you. You bad mouthed and disparaged the Yorubas in your first comment, matter of fact, at your 1st point and now, you're playing victim as if you didn't bite first? That some people's political appeal do not align with yours shouldn't make you talk down on them.
Fejoku: Hey, mind how you talk to me. I don't do your useless Nigerian politics. Did you see me mention any politician or political party in my comments? You should better mind yourself o.
I know the truth in my comments hurt but it has to be said. I'm not happy that Igbos and Yorubas are not together politically as it concerns the future of Africa and had hoped it to be so but the events of the last 8years have proved to me that it is IMPOSSIBLE. I've therefore decided to do what seems best for my people without wasting further time. In due time, you will have to explain why you still have Ezendigbo of Ajao Estate in your custody while MC Oluomo is walking a free man. You surely will.
Igbos and Yorubas can't be together, and should never be together. Yorubas already RONU and discovered the role played by Igbos, in the calamity that befelled Nigeria as a whole. Igbos should maintain their lane and leave Yoruba alone. As if no be this country we dey when Igbos were sabotaging Yoruba goals and aspirations. River Niger already separate Yoruba and Igbos, God put it there for a purpose make Igbos face their side jor
meobizy: Three years is a harsh sentence. However she'll learn from it. How long did Kemi stay in prison? That one deserved such time.
Why she no fit pay 150k?. She collected 200k for the dirty smear video but she no gree pay 150k fine. Make she go jail, aka gum dirty jobber forming blogger. Rubbish.
jaytimeo: This is Reno’s opinion and his alone ,his family should be ashamed to have someone like him in their family am sure his tribe and kinsmen are ashamed to associate with him ,he’s a madman,I can’t imagine any sane human at this day and age making utterances that is full of hate towards a fellow human,if he’s not been used his account on all social media platforms should’ve been banned by now.
They are using Reno I would urge Nigerians to ignore the attention seeker.
War is not a picnic, tell us how you would have done it, if you are in Gowon's shoes.
